Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle concerns ranging from typical problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the skill essential to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
